They can be sharpened in the same way like the other blades. For removal of tiles and wood, it is recommended to use chisels. Carry out floor stripping in parallel tracks away from off the power supply in such way that the (optional) dust hose and the electrical power supply cable do not become twisted around the swivel arm.
